CALCULATION OF REGISTRATION FEE

PART II

INFORMATION REQUIRED IN THE REGISTRATION STATEMENT

EXPLANATORY NOTE

This Registration Statement registers 4,400,000 shares of The PNC Financial Services Group, Inc. (“PNC”) common stock, par value $5.00 per share, (“Common Stock”) pursuant to the National City Savings and Incentive Plan (the “401(k) Plan”). The Registration Statement also relates to an indeterminate amount of interests in the 401(k) Plan. On December 31, 2008, National City Corporation, a Delaware corporation (“National City”) merged with and into PNC, with PNC continuing its corporate existence under the laws of the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania, pursuant to an Agreement and Plan of Merger, dated as of October 24, 2008, by and between PNC and National City (the “Merger Agreement”). Pursuant to the Merger Agreement, shares of common stock, par value $4.00 per share, of National City issuable under the 401(k) Plan, have been converted into corresponding awards covering PNC Common Stock.

In addition, this Registration Statement registers the offer and sale of $30,000,000 of deferred compensation obligations under The PNC Financial Services Group, Inc. Supplemental Incentive Savings Plan (the “SISP”), and $10,000,000 of deferred compensation obligations under The PNC Financial Services Group, Inc. and Affiilates Deferred Compensation Plan (the “DCP”).

The following documents, each as filed by PNC (except with respect to the 401(k) Plan’s annual report, which was filed by National City) with the SEC pursuant to the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, are incorporated herein by reference:

All reports and other documents filed by PNC and the 401(k) Plan pursuant to Section 13(a), 13(c), 14 or 15(d) of the Exchange Act subsequent to the date of this Registration Statement and prior to the filing of a post-effective amendment hereto, which indicates that all securities offered hereunder have been sold or which deregisters all securities remaining unsold, shall be deemed to be incorporated by reference in this Registration Statement and to be a part hereof from the date of filing of such documents.

PNC sold its J.J.B. Hilliard, W.L. Lyons, LLC (“Hilliard Lyons”) business on March 31, 2008. Prior to its sale, the results of Hilliard Lyons were included in the Retail Banking business segment in PNC’s consolidated financial statements. PNC’s consolidated financial statements included in its Quarterly Reports on Form 10-Q for the quarters ended June 30, 2008 and September 30, 2008 reflected the reclassification of results of Hilliard Lyons, including the first quarter 2008 gain on the sale of this business, from the Retail Banking business segment to “Other” for the periods presented. PNC has not restated the consolidated financial statements as of December 31, 2007 and for the year then ended and has not restated the unaudited consolidated financial statements included in its Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for the quarter ended March 31, 2008 to reflect this change in accordance with Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 131, “Disclosure about Segments of an Enterprise and Related Information,” as it was impractical to do so.

Any statement contained in a document incorporated or deemed to be incorporated by reference or deemed to be part of this Registration Statement shall be deemed to be modified or superseded for purposes of this Registration Statement to the extent that a statement contained in this Registration Statement or in any other subsequently filed document that also is, or is deemed to be, incorporated by reference in this Registration Statement modifies or replaces such statement. Any statement contained in a document that is deemed to be incorporated by reference or deemed to be part of this Registration Statement after the most recent effective date may modify or replace existing statements contained in this Registration Statement. Any such statement so modified or replaced shall not be deemed, except as so modified or replaced, to constitute a part of this Registration Statement.

The deferred compensation obligations (the “Deferred Compensation Obligations”) represent PNC’s unsecured obligations to pay deferred compensation pursuant to the SISP and the DCP.

Under the terms of the SISP, PNC provides eligible employees with the opportunity to defer eligible compensation that could not be deferred under The PNC Financial Services Group, Inc. Incentive Savings Plan or the PNC Global Investment Servicing Inc. Retirement Savings Plan because of certain limits imposed on plans qualified under Section 401(a) of the Internal Revenue Code. In addition, PNC may make matching contributions, where applicable, on a portion of an eligible employee’s cash incentive awards that an eligible employee elects to defer under the DCP. Participants in the SISP may elect to defer between 1% and 20% of their eligible compensation each pay period. Such election shall also apply to any cash incentive award deferred under the DCP. As such, a portion of any cash incentive award that a participant in the DCP elects to defer under the DCP is credited to the SISP based on the election or percentage in effect under the SISP for the year to which the award relates. Eligible compensation excludes variable pay in excess of the greater of $25,000 or 50% of such variable pay, and such variable pay is limited to $25,000 for most participants. All elections must be made prior to, and cannot be changed once, the SISP’s plan year begins on January 1. Distributions of a participant’s account under the SISP are made in a lump sum cash payment after the participant separates from service.

Under the terms of the DCP, PNC provides eligible employees with the opportunity to defer all or a portion of a cash incentive award provided that any deferral may not be less than $25,000. In addition, eligible employees have the opportunity to defer certain incentive awards received in the form of restricted shares under an eligible incentive plan. Distributions of a participant’s account under the DCP are paid in cash in accordance with the participant’s deferral election, but no deferral may be for less than one full calendar year.

A participant’s accounts in the SISP and the DCP are credited with earnings pursuant to investment alternatives selected by the participant. The earnings are indexed to one or more investment funds specified by the participant. Each participant’s account will be adjusted to reflect the rate of return, positive or negative, based upon the actual investment performance of the investment funds corresponding to the investment alternatives selected by the participant. A participant may change the investment alternatives from time to time as set forth in the SISP and the DCP.

Although the value of a participant’s accounts (and, therefore, the amount of the liability under an obligation) will be based upon the performance of the investment funds corresponding to the investment alternatives, participants will not have an actual interest in such funds but only in the Deferred Compensation Obligations. PNC is under no obligation to invest any portion of the Deferred Compensation Obligations in any of the funds to which investment alternatives are indexed.

No participant or beneficiary may transfer (other than by will or the laws of descent and distribution), alienate, or otherwise encumber the Deferred Compensation Obligations. PNC’s obligations under the SISP and the DCP are not assignable or transferable except to (i) any corporation or partnership which acquires all or substantially all of the PNC’s assets or (ii) any corporation or partnership into which PNC may be merged or consolidated.

A participant may not redeem the Deferred Compensation Obligations prior to an applicable distribution event. The Deferred Compensation Obligations are not convertible into another security of PNC. The Deferred Compensation Obligations will not have the benefit of a negative pledge or any other affirmative or negative covenant on the part of PNC. No trustee has been appointed having the authority to take action with respect to the Deferred Compensation Obligations and each employee participant will be responsible for acting independently with respect to, among other things, the giving of notices, responding to any requests for consents, waivers or amendments pertaining to the Deferred Compensation Obligations, enforcing covenants and taking action upon a default.

The plans are administered by and may be amended or terminated by the Personnel and Compensation Committee of the Board at any time. As required by law, the Plans are limited to a group of management employees. The Plans are also intended to comply with Section 409A of the Internal Revenue Code, where applicable.

Not Applicable.

Section 1741 of the Pennsylvania Business Corporation Law (“PBCL”) provides, in general, that a corporation shall have the power to indemnify any person who was or is a party or is threatened to be made a party to any threatened, pending or completed action or proceeding, whether civil, criminal, administrative or investigative (other than an action by or in the right of the corporation), by reason of the fact that the person is or was a representative of the corporation, or is or was serving at the request of the corporation as a representative of another enterprise. Such indemnity may be against expenses (including attorney’s fees), judgments, fines and amounts paid in settlement actually and reasonably incurred by the person in connection with the action or proceeding, if the person acted in good faith and in a manner the person reasonably believed to be in, or not opposed to, the best interests of the corporation and if, with respect to any criminal proceeding, the person did not have reasonable cause to believe his conduct was unlawful.

Section 1742 of the PBCL provides, in general, that a corporation shall have the power to indemnify any person who was or is a party, or is threatened to be made a party, to any threatened, pending or completed action by or in the right of the corporation to procure a judgment in its favor by reason of the fact that the person is or was a representative of the corporation or is or was serving at the request of the corporation as a representative of another entity. Such indemnity may be against expenses (including attorneys’ fees) actually and reasonably incurred by the person in connection with the defense or settlement of the action if the person acted in good faith and in a manner the person reasonably believed to be in, or not opposed to, the best interests of the corporation, except no indemnification shall be made in respect of any claim, issue, or matter as to which the person has been adjudged to be liable to the corporation unless and only to the extent that the court of common pleas of the judicial district embracing the county in which the registered office of the corporation is located or the court in which the action was brought shall determine upon application that, despite the adjudication of liability but in view of all the circumstances of the case, the person is fairly and reasonably entitled to indemnity for the expenses that the court of common pleas or other court deems proper.

Section 1743 of the PBCL provides, in general, that a corporation must indemnify any representative of a business corporation who has been successful on the merits or otherwise in defense of any action or proceeding referred to in Section 1741 or Section 1742 or in defense of any claim, issue, or matter therein, against expenses (including attorney fees) actually and reasonably incurred therein.

Section 1747 of the PBCL provides, in general, that a corporation shall have the power to purchase and maintain insurance on behalf of any person who is or was a representative of the corporation or is or was serving at the request of the corporation as a representative of another entity against any liability asserted against the person in any capacity, or arising out of the person’s status as such, regardless of whether the corporation would have the power to indemnify such person against that liability under the provisions of the PBCL.

Article VII, Section 2 of PNC’s bylaws provides for indemnification to the fullest extent authorized by the laws of the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania for any person who was or is a director or officer of PNC, or is serving or shall have served at the request of PNC as a director, officer, employee or agent of another entity. PNC’s bylaws also permit PNC, upon authorization by its board of directors, to purchase and maintain insurance on behalf of any person to the full extent permitted by the laws of the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania.

The foregoing is only a general summary of certain aspects of Pennsylvania law and PNC’s bylaws dealing with indemnification of directors and officers, and does not purport to be complete. It is qualified in its entirety by reference to the detailed provisions of Sections 1741, 1742, and 1743 of the PBCL and Article VII, Section 2 of the bylaws of PNC.

PNC has purchased director’s and officers’ liability insurance covering certain liabilities that may be incurred by its directors and officers in connection with the performance of their duties.

The Exhibit Index of this Registration Statement, filed herewith, is incorporated herein by reference. PNC undertakes that the 401(k) Plan has been submitted to the Internal Revenue Service (the “IRS”) and received a favorable determination letter in 2004 that the 401(k) Plan is qualified under Section 401(a) of the Internal Revenue Code, as amended. PNC will make all changes required by the IRS in order to continue the qualification of the 401(k) Plan and will submit the 401(k) Plan and any amendments thereto to the IRS for an updated determination letter in 2010.

The undersigned Registrant hereby undertakes:

provided, however, that Paragraphs 1(a) and 1(b) do not apply if the information required to be included in a post-effective amendment by those paragraphs is contained in reports filed with or furnished to the Commission by the Registrant pursuant to Section 13 or 15(d) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 that are incorporated by reference in the registration statement.

The undersigned Registrant hereby undertakes that, for purposes of determining any liability under the Securities Act of 1933, each filing of the Registrant’s annual report pursuant to Section 13(a) or Section 15(d) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 (and each filing of the 401(k) Plan’s annual report pursuant to Section 15(d) of the Security Exchange Act of 1934) that is incorporated by reference in the registration statement shall be deemed to be a new registration statement relating to the securities offered therein, and the offering of such securities at that time shall be deemed to be the initial bona fide offering thereof.

Insofar as indemnification for liabilities arising under the Securities Act of 1933 may be permitted to directors, officers and controlling persons of the Registrant pursuant to the foregoing provisions, or otherwise, the Registrant has been advised that in the opinion of the Securities and Exchange Commission such indemnification is against public policy as expressed in the Act and is, therefore, unenforceable. In the event that a claim for indemnification against such liabilities (other than the payment by the Registrant of expenses incurred or paid by a director, officer or controlling person of the Registrant in the successful defense of any action, suit or proceeding) is asserted by such director, officer or controlling person in connection with the securities being registered, the Registrant will, unless in the opinion of its counsel the matter has been settled by controlling precedent, submit to a court of appropriate jurisdiction the question whether such indemnification by it is against public policy as expressed in the Act and will be governed by the final adjudication of such issue.
